It has indeed become the go-to resource for just this purpose--it remains one of only five CAE Core Resources specified by ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership. In this \u003ci\u003eThird Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, it has been further expanded to appeal to a range of readers, including not only CAE aspirants but current and aspiring chief staff executives looking for an overview of the association management field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe field of nonprofit and membership organization leadership embraces a wide range of functions and professional titles. Research has shown, though, that the specific knowledge and skills contained in this book are required for successful management of any organization. In this edition, the editors and contributing authors redouble their emphasis on the chief staff executive (CSE) perspective. The most successful association managers know how to think like a CSE, even if they officially fill a different role. Through this CSE-oriented approach, \u003ci\u003eASAE Handbook of Professional Practices in Association Management\u003c\/i\u003e aims to make executives better across all functional areas of association management. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an unpredictable economy, it is even more crucial to have a firm grasp on the business of running an association. An understanding of business topics from tactical planning to effective risk management is absolutely crucial for leaders who hope to ensure that their organizations thrive despite uncertainty. This new edition of \u003ci\u003eProfessional Practices in Association Management\u003c\/i\u003e has an ever stronger focus on these important issues, in alignment with ASAE's recommendations. In the world of membership-based organizations, there is often an aversion to talking about money, but successful leaders cannot let matters of budget go undiscussed. Contributors to this \u003ci\u003eASAE Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e discuss financial management and creating organizational alignment at a time when having a strong budget is so important.
